Ever Block Someone And Then Regret It?

Much to my chagrin, I had to unfriend someone on facebook. I hated it, talked to my wife, but we both agreed he would "have to go".
But he apologised later at church, and all is well now. That's my worst falling out, at least at church.

No, I would never block anyone here.

yes Charry, sometimes that would work if it was only one person blocking the other, but when both parties do it then the other does not realize they are unblocked.....does that make sense :unsure:

Blocking on the internet with people that you don't know except through forums or social media is one thing, blocking a friend who you have known for many years is another. I could phone but have the feeling the call would not be answered.

And when it resorts to name calling and things being said that you know are untrue then maybe it is best to just let it be.

yes i know what you mean lee,
plus you cant argue with a liar...
hope you got thing resolved with your friend ...
 
I've "ignored" a number of folks in here, and on other social media sites. Who wants to read things one considers drivel, or insufferable boasting, or rants bordering on the insane? Consigning these folks to my ignore file brings peace of mind when I visit a given site. All's well with my world!
 
I never blocked anyone....I don't do Facebook.....Not my thing...… I do go to another forum...It sometime get's annoying....I learned to
not post to someone who is annoying.... I did have some nice people in the other forum and still stay in touch.....
 
I',m one of those insane posters, at times I don't consider how the other
poster will perceive my post. I've tried to be more considerate...
I've never blocked anyone, you can read a sentence, then leave, to next post if strongly disagree
a bit of diplomacy would help us all, especially me.

what is an ignore file, is that the same as blocking?

I "ignored" one person on this site. His sour avatar and even sourer posts were really getting to me. I never reported him to the mods, but obviously I wasn't the only one who found him tedious because he was shown the door by the mods not too long after.
 
I blocked someone once, years ago, on another forum. They stayed blocked for about a day. Then I couldn't take it any more, I was so curious about what they were saying. That site was not full of horrible, mean people -- everyone was nice, like here, and the blockee soon disappeared forever.

So, due to my curiosity, I don't block people any more. There is no point.
 
If you put someone on Ignore here and they post in a thread you're reading, their post won't appear in the thread ... but a "Show ignored content" link will display below the posts on the page. Meaning, you can always click it and read his/her/their comments.
 
I Unfriended my own cousin, with whom I am really close, on Facebook. She lived with my mother for a couple of years to take care of her, but we are on opposite ends of the spectrum politically. She recently came to visit my mother in hospice. I asked her to wear her mask. She said "I don't wear a mask because I have CS... Common Sense".:mad: We have since realized we have more in common than not, so I have Friended her again.

I've never felt the need to Block anyone. But then, I would never go on Twitter because it is just toxic.
 
I have been wondering about this for a while now. A member here might have blocked me. Whenever I see that they posted something
the message is empty yet I can see other people had posted a like sign under where the message should be so obviously I am the only one who can't see the post. Is there any way I can find out if they blocked me?

I don't mean to sound rude but no one who is insulting to me bothers me. If they call me names or say I'm dumb I let it pass and move on.On another forum Politics caused a lot of people who were always nice to me turn on me because they disagreed with me. I still occasionally go in there and give my opinion on the subject. If they agree with me it's fine if they don't that's fine too. I have more important things to worry about than someone elses childish behaviour

Well posted, forums do not need stupid buttons for the weak-minded, they need resident psychologists.

I've never blocked anyone, and never will. Even those whose opinions are far from my own, I think are
worthy of hearing. It's not so much about tolerance, as it is about understanding other viewpoints.

you'd soon block people if you were on the end of their never ending vitriolic attacks for absolutely no reason than they can hide behind the anonimity of a screen !!

If you can't read a persons' posts and you can see other people can and are responding to it.. then you have them blocked and not the other way around
